I don’t get the confusion people seem to have that every PC is a steam machine. If money is an issue you are chasing the form factor, your just buying the best bang for buck. The same as it ever was.
Valve's Steam Machine gets competition in the "Stim Machine", a cheeky French PC box that's already reportedly been re-named

might not be as ideal a bit of kit to fit seamlessly into your living room
So not comparable. Ok.

Did the math on the dimensions and it’s nearly three times the volume of the Steam Machine, while likely being a lot hotter and louder.
I’d love to see an actual performance head-to-head, because I bet this thing throttles HARD unless you blast the fans to max.

isn’t that what Valve wants anyway? The whole point of the Steam Machine just how it was for Steam Deck was to increase the SteamOS adoption to reduce the control Microsoft has over them with Windows. The more companies make SteamOS compatible devices the better is for adoption.
